Already got a call back that the truck is fixed and done. They admitted the tech swapped the tires left to right. So they checked alignment and swapped them in an X pattern and did a test drive and didn't feel any pull or vibrations. So they are done with it.

 

Ultimately the tires ended up where they should have if a front-to-back rotation had been done in the first place. They want my feedback after I drive it too.

On my 2020 AT4 2500 the steering is off a few degrees to the left. It doesn't seem pull one-way or another. It was that way with the factory 18" rims/tires and with my 7 year old studded rims/tires left over from my 2013 Denali. My dealer said that they will check on it when I bring it in for the first oil change next month. I purchased a set of set stock 2020 20" rims/tires and will put those on the truck prior to taking it in for repair. Standby for a report. Thanks,

Mine was pulling right, and I put the air to exactly 60 front 70 rear and it seemed to help alot. I was running 5 psi lower at all tires

Ours pulled to the right and we just had it aligned at the dealership under warranty.   (They only do alignments on new vehicles if under a certain mileage)

It was off a little and now it seems fine.  Time will tell.

Them tires are mass produced for the auto industry and you get bad ones, make them put new tires on it or you’ll file lemon law.

yeah mine has slight pull to right....I have to go in and get my center console lid to open ( it wont open) and get my other key, and manual....and have alignment checked....hopefully any recalls too, lol...I hate going to service departments so more they can knock out in one shot the better

I have the same issue. 3000 miles. Pulls to the right when braking and gentle pull while driving.  The dealer thought I might have a dragging caliper.  I drove hard and did several, at speed -stop braking intervals.  Parked the truck in my shop, lifted the front and both wheels spun freely. Took it to the dealer, he said brakes were fine, they did an alignment, the caster was off on one side a little and they said the adjustment should help. They blamed the crown of the road.  I drove off thinking it was better, but it was not.  

What I have noticed is a rattle in the steering wheel when driving at slow speed, turning mostly left, over rough ground. Anyone else noticed or experienced this? I got under the truck and nothing is visibly loose.  Anyone know of issues with power steering components?

these trucks have noisey power steering units..... different system than 1500s...I already knew before purchase so I guess I expected it, but it works fine so....

 

there is couple of threads or posts on it....

The power steering cooler rattles on rough roads at slow speeds.  It is worse on the uplevel steering trucks.  There is no real fix for it.  You can help it some by making sure your high pressure and return lines are not touching at the gear.  There are hydraulic pulses that cause the cooler to rattle.

I have a 2020 2500HD Sierra SLE. Since I got it, it pulls to the right. Dealer aligned it, was still as bad. They changed the Stearing box. Was better but still pulling to the right. It it's even worse when I'm towing my fifth weel. Now they said two tires are bad and they changed them. Just got it today and I find it still pulls to the right. The truck only has 8200km (5095 milles)They gave me all sorts of explanations that don't fit right for me. As I can see in this forum, I'm not the only one with this ongoing problem. Is this a bad truck? I had a 2011 1500 Silverado for 9 years and never had any problems with it.

Anyone has idea of what might be the problem?

My 2021 pulls to the right w/ just a hair over 500 miles on it, at first I thought it was me but it is definitely the truck.  I have to hold the wheel a degree or two to the left in order to drive down the road straight.  I am headed into the dealer tomorrow to have the alignment checked.

 

Wish me luck!

    • Hey thanks yall for the info. It apparently was the key fob - the "reserve" key fob works just fine. Yall were all over it. Great input! JRD
    • I just bought one of these.   https://www.topdon.us/collections/diagnostic-tools/products/artidiag-pro   Yeah, it`s got a cable. $250/year after 2 years. Do I want more? Yep. But, I`m not working any more and can`t afford a whirlpool in my tool box.
    • Why don't I have a good scanner? I've always wanted one when I've needed one.   My latest reading says I don't need to do a relearn on the ckp sensor on a 1995 with OBD 1.5. The relearn is prescribed for the later-model 1995's which shipped with actual OBD II when GM completed the transition in prep for the 1996 MY. I need to confirm that. Did you know forums are disappearing? Knuckleheads on Facebook... it's not the same. It's just not.   So, scanners. Again, shooting myself in the foot for having eBayed my Snap On MT2500 "brick" with all the adapters. Not that I couldn't buy another but those are getting quite old, and mine wasn't new enough to work on 2000's vehicles.   Damn it (as I'm scanning my email between paragraphs here). Did you know there's a 2000 Jimmy 2-door on BaT that's ending this morning? It's local. I want it. 14k miles. Absolutely beautiful.   Back to scanners. MT2500's are old. Solus, now that could be a contender. There's a ~2008 Verus with a system error that's basically new in box for cheap. Hmm...I'm not sure about a scanner that runs an archaic version of windows (95 or CE, I can't tell).   I want the ability to reset and rotate TPMS, test individual modules, bleed ABS, electronic parking brake controls for servicing brakes, relearn procedures and other bidirectional controls.   Snap On does an MT2600. It's a new model as of last year, marketed as their "entry" scanner. Entry? Only where $1900 gets you through the doorway plus, I'm guessing, $1000/year if you wish to keep it current. So goes scan tools actually designed for production environments. Want decent products with excellent support, you pay for it.   Everyone is raving about Autels and TopDons and Foxconns and all these newer brands that are selling the $500 "prosumer" scanners for backyard hacks like me. They're tempting...honestly. Updates are cheaper, base prices are remarkably cheaper... And you get to deal with bugs and translation whoopsies and, well, just don't use it on anything expensive, OK? Having a dealer replace an ECU because it needs to be re-imaged after an adventure in scanning is no joke. But I think most people are getting by OK with these units.   eBay on a scratch-and-sniff pro-model oldie, a shiny new TopDon, or???   God dang it, I can't stop looking at this Jimmy. I'm ready! I'll Bring The TRailer! It's beautiful.
    • I removed the OE running boards.  It looked so much better.  I wish I took them off a long time ago.     I had to put something back on for my wife.  I wanted Westin Sure Grip Running Boards but they are very pricey, like $600 plus.  I was going to go with the Ionic 41's like I had on the 2019 Silverado but went with Westin Outlaw Drop Steps instead, about $200 cheaper.  They are sturdy and functional but not super crazy about the look, but it works.
